Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't believe what I'm hearin'
Stone cold, statuary blue
On the telephone
Can't believe what I'm feellin'
Bone cold after what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
Up upon the rock
Where an angel stood
With a rifle stock
Underneath his foot
No matter anyway
I've one part
On this stage today
[Verse 2]
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
[Verse 3]
Can't believe what I'm hearin'
Stone, stone, stone cold, statuary blue
On the telephone
Can't believe how aI'm reelin'
A spinnin' top
All around my head
A dirty mop
Wringing out the dead
Can't you make it stop?
Remember what you said
[Verse 4]
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
[Verse 5]
Can't believe what I'm seein'
So sick
The tenement block
The crumblin' brick
Can't believe what I'm feellin'
Bone cold after what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
[Verse 6]
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
And fall he did
And fall he did
